Take a look at the rear "sway bar". I had a friend who had one of those junk
boxes. The rear stablizer bar is made out of something like 16 gauge "U"

car had started dancing to Don Ho tunes.
Something you may NOT want to replicate. How easy it would be to find one
now, I dont know. It wasn't that easy in 1990.
